ब्रह्माणी कुरुते सृष्टिं न तु ब्रह्मा कदाचन।
अतएव महेशानी ब्रह्मा प्रेतो न संशयः।।
वैष्णवी कुरुते रक्षां न तु विष्णु कदाचन ।
अतएव महेशानी विष्णुः प्रेतो न संशयः।।
रुद्राणी कुरुते ग्रासं न तु रुद्र कदाचन।
अतएव महेशानी रुद्र प्रेतो न संशयः।।
ब्रह्माविष्णुमहेशाद्या जडा सर्वे प्रकीर्तीता ।
प्रकृतिञ्च विना देवी सर्वे कार्याऽक्षमाधृव।।

ଏଣୁ ମହାମାୟା ଙ୍କ ବିନା ପୁରୁଷ ହୁଅନ୍ତୁ ବା ପୁରୁଷୋତ୍ତମ ସମସ୍ତେ ପ୍ରେତ/ ଜଡ।

~ Kubjikā Ta**ra illustrates ; 🌺

Brahma accompanies the Saraswati/Brahmani intending to create, but only from the womb of Saraswati/Brahmani does the life appear. So when Brahma acts, Mahamaya itself is the cause.

To operate the creation, Vishnu accompanies Mahalaxmi /Rama/Vaishnavi. But It is the divine mother who nurses or operates the elements & factors of creation. So Mahamaya is the cause of Vishnu's actions.

When Rudra performs Tandava with the intention of destruction, after Tandava, the creation is destroyed. But it is Mahakali/Parvati/Rudrani who devours Rudra and makes all creation empty.

Therefore, without Mahamaya(feminine energy) the Purusha or Purushottam (masculine energy) is dormant and weak. Both energies consist of a cause-and-effect relationship with each other

This powerful stanza from the Chandrashekhara Ashtakam is a heartfelt prayer to Lord Shiva for protection. It praises Him as the supreme Lord (Bhuvaneshvara) whose glory is sung by great sages like Narada, who wears the king of serpents as an earring in His ear, and who rides a bull. He is described as the destroyer of the demon Andhaka, the ultimate wish-fulfilling tree for those who seek His shelter, and the conqueror of Death (Yama). The poet surrenders completely to Lord Chandrashekhara (He who wears the crescent moon on His head), pleading, "O Lord Chandrashekhara, please protect me!"

Oh lotus eyed, this object called soul has been conquered by you, this is not mine. This is yours, oh creator of all the universe, controller of senses, oh greatest among the givers, munificent born prior to all. This soul should be divested of my ownership and should become your rightful possession.

Jitante Stotram 🪷

In Purushottam Mahatmya, Utkala Khanda of Skanda Purana it is stated that, While Sri Purushottam Jagannātha rides his giant Ratha and moves in the BadaDanda, the Dwijas' should chant "Jitante Stotram" As a result of this, merely by the gaze of Pundarikaksha (Lord Jagannātha), all the sins of the pilgrims present at the holy site will be incinerated. 💛







Trying to collect and collate all the basic but require information regarding three Rathas', hope you people acknowledge something new with it, also correct if any mistakes there. 🌺

"A divine glimpse of Shri MāhāNārāyan, the Patti Dian, who represents Lord Shri Jagannātha MahaPrabhu. After the Snana Yatra on Jyestha Purnima, the darshan of the four deities remains closed for 15 days, and the Lords stay inside the 'Anasara Ghara'. During this period, the worship of the Patti Dian takes place in the Shrimandir, and all the daily rituals are performed before these deities." 🌺

Capturing the sacred important factor of Jyestha Purnima, revered by millions as the divine appearance day of the Chaturdha Murti on Ratnasinghasana of NilaChala. The entire attire and articles of Gajanana Besha/Hāti Besha preparing in the final stages at the Raghava Dasa Matha & Gopala Tirtha Matha. Framing the delicate, precise brushstrokes and structural framing as the master craftsmen give the massive outfits their definitive shape. 🎨

"This Supreme Being, Sadasiva, is eternally pure, peaceful, the absolute ruler of the universe, and an imperishable, divine light. He resides continuously as the inner soul within the hearts of all living beings, subtly perceived in the heart center during meditation.
As Samba (coupled with Mother Nature/Amba), He is both immanent and transcendent. He is entirely omnipresent—every hand, foot, eye, head, and face in this vast universe belongs to Him, meaning He witnesses everything, pervades everything, and works through all of creation."

In Ekāmra, history isn’t past. It’s etched in stone, echoing still. Artisans long gone, but their devotion lingers in every ruin. I came with a camera. The city gave me stories. As a nomad in her lanes, I’ve only begun. More to witness. More to share. 🪷🌾
